Today is August 13, 2025. Bitcoin has reached $120,000, Ethereum has reached its previous high, and all altcoins have collectively risen. Last year at this time, Bitcoin was around $58,000. A year has passed, and it has doubled. This increase shows that capital has voted with its feet; Bitcoin has reached this position due to various factors. In any case, this thing is gradually entering the public eye.
Policies regarding Bitcoin are becoming more favorable, and the market is generally optimistic. Especially in the US market, Wall Street institutions are buying BlackRock and more; this is a reshuffle, as everyone wants to have a place in the market in the next ten or even twenty years. This has driven up prices. In fact, this is mainly due to the unlimited issuance of currency by some major governments in real life, leading to global inflation. Some small countries, like El Salvador, have seen their legal tender depreciate significantly against the US dollar, forcing ordinary people to buy Bitcoin to counter high inflation. In 2021, the El Salvador government decided to buy Bitcoin; at that time, Bitcoin reached a historical high of $69,000. While everyone was mocking the government, now, four years later, they have made money and outperformed inflation. The success of this policy can be validated by the results.
Cognition determines the future development direction of a person and a country. The first batch of people with 10,000 bitcoins can now live in any country on Earth. With the rising price of Bitcoin and the devaluation of currencies in various countries, those who own 1,000, 100, 10, or even 1 bitcoin can also achieve financial freedom.
At this stage, those who own 45 bitcoins can achieve financial freedom.
We live in an era of rapid information dissemination. However, the transmission of information can be controlled at its source. What we see sometimes may not necessarily be true; in this era, seeing is not always believing. Verification requires time and history. I believe that the price of Bitcoin is the best verification! Including now, when we promote this thing, it is sure to be regarded as a scam, pyramid scheme, or something similar. In this land, at least 90% of people have no concept of Bitcoin, and about 80% react with fear and avoid it. Yet, regardless of whether you believe in Bitcoin or not, it is still there. The wheels of history roll forward; ordinary people can only be forced to accept it—either adapt to the times or be abandoned by the times.
History tells us that the primitive accumulation of capital has always been acquired through very despicable, shameless, and painful means. The speed of societal development is very fast, especially in today's society; we must constantly learn and develop along with societal progress, or we will be eliminated by society. However, there are unchanging elements within societal development; human nature does not change. Human nature is greedy and fearful, and only by balancing these two points can we seize opportunities and turn the tables.
History will ultimately reward those who recognize ahead of time, but true civilizational progress does not lie in how many wealthy people are created, but in whether the most vulnerable groups can avoid falling through the cracks during a technological revolution. Are we pursuing freedom, or another form of servitude defined by capital?
